What this report shows is that chemicals that may present a long-term hazard to human health are present in significant amounts in virtually every one of over 100 homes we visited. Here then is a clue as to why levels are increasing, exponentially in some cases, in human breast milk, blood and other body tissues. We cannot assume that there will be no adverse effects from this. We expect government to act to end this state of affairs.
